Treanor Architects, P.A.

Treanor is applying its sustainble design principles to its entry into Lawrence's 2011 Festival of Trees - a fundraiser for The Shelter, Inc. The hanging "wreath" includes vintage, recycled and fair trade ornaments suspended from a re-purposed Christmas tree stand. Be sure to stop by the Festival of Trees to bid on any of the lovely wreaths and trees on display. The silent wreath auction ends Tuesday afternoon and is followed by a llive auction for the trees. It's a festive event to support a wonderful cause. Hope to see you there!

The project is featured in the AIA's 2010 Justice Facilities Review. Designed in conjunction with HOK Architects, the $52 million project includes 554 new beds, administrative segregation, disciplinary segregation, maximum custody, special needs, and medium/minimum custody beds as well as a remodel of the existing facility to accommodate projected inmates and staff. The new building is connected directly to the existing facility with a secure link.

More than 600 Hiawatha residents and surrounding community members visited the recently completed Brown County Law Enforcement Center at an open house Saturday, Sept. 11. The facility, which houses both the jail and sheriff's department, was dedicated to the memory of Todd Michael Widman, a sheriff's deputy who was killed in the line of duty in 2000.

The law enforcement center includes offices for sheriff’s administration, records, deputies, workroom, interview rooms, evidence and property storage. The 41-bed jail will house inmates in separate pods to maintain proper classifications.
